Edit Table Plugin

This plugin allows you to edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes. Tables have an [ Edit table ] button if preceeded by an %EDITTABLE{...}% variable. Each column can be a text field, a drop down box or a row number. Multiple tables per topic are editable, but only one at a time can be edited.

Per Table Settings

Enable static header if "on", e.g. disable editing of the first row; Else specify the header format of a new table like "|*Food*|*Drink*|".

(no header)

include

Other topic defining the EDITTABLE parameters. The first %EDITTABLE% in the topic is used. This is useful if you have many topics with the same table format and you want to update the format in one place.

(none)

changerows

Rows can be added and removed if "on"; Rows can be added but not removed if "add"

Topic name containing help text shown below the table when editing a table. The %STARTINCLUDE% and %STOPINCLUDE% variables can be used in the topic to specify what is shown.

(no help text)

Note: By default, variables in <initial value> (of text input field) and <label text> (of fixed label) get expanded when a new row is added. This can be used for example to add a timestamp to a label. You can escape characters if you do not want that:

If this plugin is installed you will see an [ Edit table ] button above; when you click on it you get this form:

Date Field Type

The date field type allows one to choose a date with a popup calendar. Popup calendar works for Netscape 6.0 or better, all other Gecko-based browsers, Internet Explorer 5.0 or better for Windows, Opera 7 and Konqueror 3.1.2. The ... button is inactive if the browser cannot support the popup calendar. It uses the nice Mishoo DHTML calendar, see also TWiki:Codev/JavaScriptDatePickerForForm

The plugin depends on the viewauth script to authenticate the user. As described in TWikiAccessControl, copy the view script to viewauth (or better, create a symbolic link) and add viewauth to the list of authenticated scripts in the .htaccess file.

The Mishoo DHTML calendar 0.9.5 is preinstalled and should work without any configuration. If you wish to use another language, specify the in the Plugin settings, or create a new language files, attach it to the Plugin topic, and change the Plugin settings

Test if the Plugin is correctly installed:
